Chip Adkins

Chip Adkins is a Litigation Attorney with Cordell & Cordell in Boise, where he practices family law. He represents clients in divorce and related family matters and brings prior experience with custody and civil protection orders. His work is grounded in the understanding that family cases vary widely based on changing facts, individual circumstances, and judicial considerations, so legal advice must be tailored to the specific case rather than based on another family’s outcome.

His education provides a foundation in legal analysis, public institutions, and advocacy that supports his current family law practice. He is licensed in Idaho, Alabama, and North Carolina, allowing him to draw on experience with different legal systems while focusing his Boise work on family law disputes.

Before joining Cordell & Cordell, Adkins practiced family law with an emphasis on divorce, custody, and civil protection orders. His current firm handles family law matters such as divorce, child custody, child support, legal separation, modification proceedings, paternity, prenuptial agreements, protection orders, and spousal support. His approach emphasizes patience and careful attention to the facts because family law decisions can affect children, finances, living arrangements, and long-term family relationships.
